From Brad: "Rewrite the ti(4) man page a bit making it look closer
to the bge(4) man page.
- Remove mentioning PCI for the type of Gigabit adapters at the top
since there are also SBus adapters.
- Shuffle the list of adapters and the description of the chipsets
around so that the adapters list is further up the page and the
description of the chipsets is further down the page.
- Make the list of adapter entries consistent and only mention
the media type.
- Remove the bit about the Tigon 1 chipset no longer being
in production. They're both no longer in production and
I don't think this has much relevence in the man page.
There are plenty of other Ethernet chipsets no longer in
production as well."
